In theory, we improvise every day or at least the days when we talk to people. We listen, sometimes better than others, and respond accordingly. So why on earth is improv - or improvisation theatre - so bloody terrifying? I know people like to throw around statistical nuggets like ‘fear of death is second […]
Agghhh! My first fun fail. Ok: not a 100% fail, but an… incomplete challenge. Last week’s fun assignment was… to crochet a bunny. I was so relieved! Finally something that cost me next to nothing, didn’t require booking anything or even leaving the house. And at first, all went swimmingly. I found a Youtube tutorial […]

You may recall last week I declared I booked my barista training. But, as I sat on the bus, 10 minutes away, I randomly checked my emails and - oh - the guy who was training me, cancelled. I’m not sure if it was a hangover (this is 9 am on a Sunday) or if […]
First of all, let’s address the elephant in this blog post: I did not do my planned fun this week (as dictated by Jar of Fun), which was barista skills training. The first available spot is next weekend – but I can confirm that I’m booked on so coffee-making-101 is happening! But I was left […]
